Chapter 133: Hospitality
Of course, this is just a kind of self-deprecation, she simply likes to be quiet and does not like to be disturbed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What a good way to do things! Anyway, Zheng Xi is now also a small leader with his own people, Yin Feng and Huaiyu's people add up to seventy-two, plus her and Ah Jiu's people, all of them changed their clothes and went out to stand in the courtyard, and the scene was also very spectacular.
By mid-afternoon, it was all neatly packed.
Zheng Xi specially laid a new set of bedding on his new bed, bought a few pillows and put them on the pit near the window, and then put the books he loved to read on the couch, the room was instantly plump, and he lay down on the bed, feeling that his whole life was complete.
Who knew that Zheng Xi just moved to a new home, obviously she pursued a low-key life and a high-profile work.
She stayed in her new house for one night, and by the next day, there were a lot of uninvited guests in her new house, as if everyone was waiting for her to move.
the wife of Chen Jianhui, the squire of the military department, Zhang Jiashi; Yang, the wife of Yong Shaohua, the head of the household; Han Chunrou, the daughter of Han Yu's family, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Even Prime Minister Xia Shan's wife, Xiao Qiao, came......
Zheng Xi looked at the ladies and ladies who had come to the door since early in the morning, and the whole person was not good.
You must know that where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs.
Are they going to set up a new place of right and wrong with her as the center?
It's a pity that she has fallen into this circle now, and she really can't refuse? What's more, everyone took congratulatory gifts to congratulate her on her housewarming.
is the title that makes Zheng Xi particularly unacceptable! Everyone changed their words from Master Xiwei when they saw her in the official residence before, and they became Niangniang.
Only then did Zheng Xi know that his house had broken down.
This is undoubtedly the fact that she took the initiative to admit that she was Xiao Zichen's woman and admitted that she was Concubine Jing! Xiao Zichen dug another pit for her to jump!
Zheng Xi called it a remorse, she originally wanted to live in a celibate state outside, but after that, her free circle shrank from a hula hoop to a doughnut.
Whether in his previous life or in modern times, Zheng Xi has really learned a lot of things, but he has never learned how to deal with women or how to deal with women.
What's more, none of these women are simple, whether it is their background or cultivation, they are all similar to Xiao Jinyu and Zheng Yue, who have been strictly cultivated since childhood.
Even if you want to drink water, you won't just say: I'm thirsty, I want to drink water! And it is possible to pinch your throat and say: Ah! It's a good day, but it's a little drier.
It is much more difficult to deal with these women than it is to deal with those ministers in the court.
Zheng Xi sat on the main seat in a daze, but he could only let Xia Ju and the girls hurry out to buy ingredients, sharpen their knives on the spot, and prepare lunch to entertain the guests.
By noon, the families of the six departments of the three provinces had basically arrived, that is, the Zheng family and the Li family, all of whom had sent people.
Zheng Xi suddenly realized that she might have made some common-sense mistakes, and some mistakes that she didn't understand. For example, when a second-grade official moves to a housewarming, she will post a banquet to invite officials of the same level and higher levels than her to come to her home for a banquet.
And she thought it was a family matter! It's not okay to go on like this, Zheng Xi doesn't want to be a joke in the mouths of all women in Kyoto.
Today, she can only try to remain silent, and turn around and ask Xiao Zichen to ask her to teach her a teacher who knows these etiquette exchanges.
Fortunately, she also spoke some polite words to deal with the scene, such as: Hello, thank you! You're welcome! We look forward to coming back next time.
But when it comes to speaking, these polite words are not enough.
For example, Chen, the wife of the Ministry of Works, even if she was separated by one person, she still accosted Zheng Xi and said: "I have never seen a woman sitting in the position of a second-grade official, I heard that there was also a woman who was an official in the previous dynasty, but it was only in middle age that she did it from the third grade. ”
It's rare to meet someone who can't speak so much on this occasion.
Looking at the sincerity on her face, it didn't look like she was sarcastic, Zheng Xi could only explain modestly: "Where is it, the main thing is that the emperor promotes me, thinking that I have empty skills, I can't play it, and it's wasted!" This is not to avoid the suspicion of men and women, the big guy doesn't laugh at me, it's good! ”
This is the first time Zheng Xi has answered a question head-on today, and everyone listened to it for a while, and then some people covered their mouths and laughed, and some people echoed: "How can you laugh at Niangniang, we can't envy it!" ”
Zheng Xi exhaled and didn't speak again.
Why did she specifically pick up this question to answer it! Quite simply, she wanted to tell these women that she was not incompetent, and that if they only treated her as a housewife, they couldn't do it.
I heard that Zhao Rui's wife was the princess of Chao Mingyue, and when she came in, the ladies were introduced by the attendants, and she also made a special note at the time, only vaguely remembering that she came with the princess at that time, it seemed to be the prime minister's wife Xiao Qiao...... One was wearing a light blue skirt and the other was wearing a white coat, both women in their twenties.
It's a pity that now Zheng Xi wants to recognize the two of them in detail, and he is a little face blind, except for a few older ladies, most of them look young and beautiful.
Dressed decently, there is no rudeness in the manners, even when chatting, they all sit straight and straight, which is like her, only holding it for a while, and then she can't help but relax the muscles in her waist.
For this point, Zheng Xi is also worthy of these women. So although she is very tired, she is also trying her best to persevere, at least she can't make people feel that the woman Xiao Zichen is looking for is empty!
Everyone saw that Zheng Xi only said this, and stopped talking, so someone said: "What hobbies does the lady usually have?" I guess it's different from us women! ”
Zheng Xi thought about it, her only hobby at the moment is making weapons, which can't be said! Zheng Xi could only make up nonsense: "I don't usually have any hobbies, but I like to raise some flowers and plants!" ”
As a result, when it came to everyone's common hobbies, nearly 20 people echoed that they also had a common hobby with her, and then someone proposed to invite her to the house to visit the new varieties she raised. There was one person who started, there was a second person, and then a third person, until Zheng Xi had been arranged for nearly half a month, and the topic did not stop.
The most important thing is that Zheng Xi didn't say a word in the middle.
was so anxious that Zheng Xi almost didn't catch it in one breath...... How did things turn out like this? She is the captain of Si Li, a second-class official, and she doesn't blink an eye when she kills people now! It's really out of place with them! Why did she spend half a month with them every day?
Yes! Why? Yes! Who's going to explain it to her? (To be continued.) )
